Subbarao Arumili | Principal Engineer at Cisco Systems October 31, 2011, Subbarao was Amar’s client -- Oct 2011
Buying a home can be a long painful process or it can be a pleasant experience. It all depends on who your real estate agent is. We had a great home buying experience and we attribute that to Amar. We hired Amar as our agent in August 2011 and he never failed us. He collected our input and showed houses that suited our requirements. Amar gathered complete information on each house he showed and provided his honest input whether to go with or not. He never forced us to give a quick offer and always asked us to think twice, thrice before presenting an offer. Once we found the house that we like, Amar used his keen negotiation skills and got us the house at a lower price than many competing offers. During the entire closing process he is on his heels and been in constant contact with the sellers agent, loan agent and pushed all of them to get to the closing quickly and smoothly. Amar also have extensive contacts with loan agents, contractors and insurance agents and he used them effectively at every stage of our home buying process. With his negotiation tactics Amar saved quite a bit of time and money on various repair works we have done to our new house. I have never seen an agent who does so much extra service to make their clients home buying experience happy and comfortable. I am very happy to use his services again and recommend him highly to anyone. subbarao arumilli

Amar is an outstanding Agent. I am a first time homebuyer and he was very patient with answering all my questions. He would always put his client’s priorities on top of his priorities. Amar would travel miles even in difficult weather conditions to show a houses. He has excellent knowledge of building materials and would correctly estimate the costs for any repairs required. Most importantly is very honest in giving his feedback. Amar has a very good team and they compliment each other so well. You will get a feeling that a strong team is working for you throughout the process. They are so flexible in working around your timings.Once you like any house, they were so meticulous in doing their research and would get to the correct value of the house. Amar is excellent in gaging the competition and would also magically get to understand the seller’s mindset. He is excellent in putting out a strategy to prepare a winning offer. Amar is very methodical in negotiating and he is your best bet in winning through multiple offers in this competitive market. What makes him special is that he truly feels every transaction as his own and works so hard on it. Finally, I would say that if Amar is in your team, it’s like having the leagues MVP in your team.

GIRISH PANDIT | Senior Software Engineer September 14, 2016, Girish was a client of Amar -- Sep 2016
Amar and team were extremely helpful in our home buying process. As a first time buyer, we were stranded in our search for our dream home for quite some time. But Amar and Sri guided us right from the initial consultation to the final closing. We contacted Amar & team; they were very helpful in explaining the process and also explain about the market conditions. We were going through some family health issues at the same time, so Amar convinced us to focus our time on family while he took care of dealing with all the paperwork. I’m pretty sure without Amar’s and his team proper guidance, I wouldn’t have struck such a great deal on the house. What I’ll definitely endorse Amar for his awesome negotiation skills, his tactics before we made an offer on the house and definitely the zeal he showed to get the house well under listing price at a great bargain. Amar’s capability executing the entire home buying process is awesome. Its still hard to believe we have the keys to the house. Amar and Sri you are indeed really good at what you do as many of your client testimonials say but now I can too attest to it. We strongly recommend Amar and Sri to anyone who are in need of Real Estate help.
Nithya Shivamani | SOFTWARE ENGINEER APRIL 26, 2020, NITHYA WAS A CLIENT OF AMAR -- Apr 2020
When we decided to purchase the home, we had lots of questions related to the purchase. We met Amar at the Palo Alto office. Amar guided us through the steps of the home buying process and gave us everything we needed to get started with the process. He has an excellent team that works tirelessly throughout the home buying process. As a first time homebuyer, we are always curious about the process and had a lot of questions. This is where Sri Amar comes into the picture. She patiently listened to all our concerns and advised accordingly at each stage of the home buying process. These questions ranged from how zip codes attract a premium, Sri duly answered school districts and bidding process, etc. Amar and Sri Amar would let the clients do the survey of the property independently. They never forced any opinions on the house and very patient until we are functionally like the house. Once we like, they go through all the disclosures and patiently explain everything in detail. On the offer date, Amar worked with the lender and put forward a competitive offer on the table and got the property that we call our home at a great deal. These were the times when “Shelter-in-place” was announced in CA. During “Shelter-in-place”, there were delays associated with appraisals and Amar kept the seller agent and others in the loop. We were in the housing market for less than a month and Amar helped us to get the property we would call it our home. We were more than happy about closing the deal. In the whole process, we had some great interactions with Sri Amar, who would provide valuable insights. We are extremely pleased with our home buying process and our association with Amar & Sri Amar. We would definitely recommend Amar and Sri Amar to our friends and family. Thanks for making this come true so early and we appreciate all the efforts put by this efficient team.
TUSHAR MAHALE | Staff Engineer at ThoughtSpot March 30, 2016, Tushar was a client of Amar -- Mar 2016
et me start by saying this – there cannot be a better Realtor® than Amar. Period. When we decided to buy our first home, we started looking for a Realtor® who could guide us in the right direction and help us make our dream a reality. Amar had very good and a lot of positive reviews, so we decided to contact him. And that sure was the best decision we took. Sri is a gem of a person. She was very proactive and always informed us about any good listings whenever they came up. She’d always try to understand our changing requirements focusing even on finer details, to ensure that she’s able to find the perfect fit for us. We could ask any question to her and she’d always answer all our questions patiently and in detail, no matter how small/silly they seem. Being a first time home buyer, this helped us a lot in narrowing down our exact requirements and take into accounts aspects that we had never thought of. I think this is very critical especially for a first time home buyer. One of the best qualities of Amar and Sri is they are not pushy. I still remember the discussion I had when I informed them that we wanted to back out of a contract. They were amazingly supportive and never ever tried to convince us to continue with the contract or to reconsider our decision. That is I think one of the most important quality every Realtor® should have and I am very glad I was working with people who are masters at such things. They patiently understood our concerns. The call was over in a few minutes and we were out of contract smoothly. Even after losing the deal and the time they had spent on the contract, there was not a single ounce of drop in the enthusiasm Amar and Sri showed showing/suggesting next properties. That is how professional they are. And then there was the home that we had been waiting for all these months. We hadn’t even bothered to go to the open house because it was way above our budget. But one fine evening we got a call from Sri and informed that Amar wanted us to have a look at the house. We got ready in half an hour and were on our way to the house. When we first saw the house, we couldn’t believe we could afford it and were even thinking that this could be a waste of time. But Amar suggested us to make an offer and we decided to give it a try. And it was not in vain. Out of his amazing arsenal of Realtor® skills, Amar unleashed his all mighty negotiation powers and brokered a deal that I still sometimes have to ask myself if is indeed a reality or not. We purchased the house at 63K less than the listing price in the hot market of Milpitas with good schools. Amar and Sri were involved in every step of the process, kept all the parties involved on the same page. Amar has teamed up with professionals who are BEST in their business and they guided us smoothly throughout the entire process which otherwise could be overwhelming for the first time buyers.

We are not sure where to begin to share our experience of home buying made so easy and smooth by Mr. Amar. AMAR is one of THE BEST Realtor® we have ever worked with. He guided us like a big brother and a good friend explaining all the aspects of home buying in this hot market in the neighborhood of Cupertino and Sunnyvale. Amar saved us enormous amount of dollars (the amount we were willing pay above the listed price) in his collaboration process by going beyond call of duty and $8,000.00 recovery from the lender and seller. With his expert negotiations with seller and building relationship with seller agent, he made it possible for us to purchase the house below the listed price 3 days before the public open house, which we have never thought would be possible in this bidding war with multiple offers. Amar personally involved in all areas like Appraisal, Loan, Escrow and closing process and guided us throughout Home buying process. Staying on top of every activity in the entire process to make sure end goal is accomplished as smooth as possible. Right from the beginning of our home buying, Amar gave us an impression of being more than being just a Realtor® and was always available when we needed his guidance answering all our questions and being more practical. He took personal interest and went beyond boundaries to get us loan from the bank. Amar made it an extremely flawless experience – THE BEST we have seen in our experience. Amar did a thorough analysis and best strategy to win the offer. Two Thumbs up and a big hug to you. –Kishore Kumar

Hello Amar and Sri, I am immensely thankful for all your help and guidance throughout the home buying process. This was our first home, and we were not aware of many things. To begin with, Sri educated us with Dos and Donts in narrowing down on the house. She made us realize all the aspects a home buyer should look at from present and future point of view. Sri was generous enough to share all past experiences, which made our decision making much easier. Certain cities in the Bay area can be very competitive, resulting in bidding wars. Your working relationship in the real estate market and several years of experience helped us win the offer and eventually get our dream home. Once the house was finalized, there was immense discipline in executing all the various steps like loan approval, Escrow, etc. These steps could be very overwhelming for a first-time homebuyer. However, your excellent cross-functional teams (Loan, Home insurance, Home warranty, Escrow) made it very easier. Given how time-sensitive each step was, the cross-functional teams worked tirelessly on the closing plan. They closed the deal in 24 days, even during the pandemic period. Covid-19 has changed things drastically, and home has gained an important place in everyone’s lives as we school and work from home. Getting a dream home in this pandemic seemed like an insurmountable task, but Amar, Sri, and their excellent cross-functional teams have helped us win it. Words cannot express our gratitude towards you. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!
